I wonder | An idiot on board

An idiot on board. A dad, a husband, a grandad, a deacon. Catholic through and through, dead good looking, daft as a brush. Asymp; 1 Comment. Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock is a research Fellow at UCL’s department of Science and Technology studies, an astro-physicist by trade she is one of, if not the most, successful female scientists in the country. I wonder what would have happened if she said other women cry if she criticised them. Larr; Previous post. Next post →. Thought on “I wonder”. You are commenting ...

An idiot on board. A dad, a husband, a grandad, a deacon. Catholic through and through, dead good looking, daft as a brush. A day of good things. Asymp; Leave a comment. The parish minibus had passengers on board by 10.30, we were also using the school minibus to ferry people to and fro and the orders of service were, with the newsletters, all packed and ready to go. In the homily the congregation were encouraged to take this day and remember it is their church, their community and to offer themselves to...

Praying and blogging | An idiot on board

An idiot on board. A dad, a husband, a grandad, a deacon. Catholic through and through, dead good looking, daft as a brush. Asymp; 1 Comment. My previous blog post was about my need to pray before writing a homily. I also pray before writing, and then separately before posting a blog. This weekend I have seen some rather shocking blogging going on with regard to one specific matter. Happily, to date, only one blogger has raised the matter but I fear there may be more. I debated this with him, I asked how...

An idiot on board. A dad, a husband, a grandad, a deacon. Catholic through and through, dead good looking, daft as a brush. Asymp; Leave a comment. Mgr Keith Barltrop wrote a graceful piece in the Catholic Herald here. Saying why he had chosen not to sign the letter, I saw not one comment from either side on his article, but then, there was nothing to say. On Thursday I had a call asking if I had seen who had signed, ‘the people’s letter’. Eh? Said I, and was led here. Larr; Previous post. You are commen...

One of my wife’s colleagues, we’ll call her Louise, because that’s her name, was at Awards Night at her children’s school back in June. The keynote speaker, Peter, was the former deputy head of that school who had gone on to be a headteacher elsewhere for thirteen years. He retired four years ago. Years later, when he was a headteacher, Peter c...

On the up! | An idiot on board

An idiot on board. A dad, a husband, a grandad, a deacon. Catholic through and through, dead good looking, daft as a brush. Asymp; 6 Comments. Last week, on 30 July, The Tablet published this. Article about a Portsmouth parish being taken back in time by an order of monks who had been invited by the Bishop to take charge. In the article two parishioners, mentioned by name, give their opinion that this has not been a good move and that people have been driven away. Oddly one or two people on Twitter denou...

An idiot on board. A dad, a husband, a grandad, a deacon. Catholic through and through, dead good looking, daft as a brush. Asymp; Leave a comment. Earlier this week I read someone laud their parish priest for his edifying homilies. She had discovered his secret was to write them in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. This really made me think of my own early shocking attempts at homiletics. I discussed this at dinner one evening, saying I was getting slightly desperate as to what I would say on Sunda...

Terry Wogan used to make me laugh with his exclamation a letter has flooded in! And this week a letter flooded in to The Catholic Herald. However, this letter was signed by 461 priests. It urged all those taking part in the second synod to uphold the Church’s sound teaching on marriage and human sexuality. The sad thing that has arisen out of it all is the hy...

Http:/ joannabogle.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/and.html. Where would I be? And what would be my future? No, the big huge thank you goes to our priests. If anyone wants to thank anyone else, let them get on and organise it, and make sure ‘the ladies that hold the banner’ are near the top of the list. Larr; Previous post. Next post →. You a...
